After Jamal Musiala was spotted donning unseen Tiempo’s earlier in the week, we finally get a full reveal from Nike on these new releases. Inspired by the Italian legend Andrea Pirlo, these boots flourish in elegance and luxury. These are special.
Back in 2022, Nike released the first ‘Made In Italy’ Tiempo inspired by Andrea Pirlo, arriving in a white and blue colourway. Nike have now continued this story with another chapter, presenting the ‘Tiempo Luxe’. Considered as one of the best midfielders of all time, Andrea Pirlo was known for his effortless passing and class on the pitch. He is the first person who springs to mind when thinking of luxury players. These boots are no exception to that, mirroring the premium style Pirlo brought to the pitch.
Much like the previous ‘Made in Italy’ model, this newest Tiempo is crafted at Montebelluna – Nike’s main factory in Italy which provides all of Nike’s athletes' boots. Inspired by the Tiempo Legend 6 'Pirlo edition' released in 2016, this latest silo lands in a Port Wine/Bright Crimson colourway – influenced by his love for fine wines. As a child, Pirlo used to harvest grapes at local vineyards which led to a genuine passion for wine.



Since Musiala’s sneak peek earlier in the week, we’ve been dying for a closer look, so let’s get into the details. Nike have still chosen to avoid the leather of OG boots, opting for their synthetic Flytouch Plus upper for that lightweight feel in all weather conditions. The outsole is a thing of beauty, featuring a deep red chrome finish for that extra touch of opulence. But that isn’t the only stunning part of this boot; one of the many highlights is the Ferrari red Swoosh riding down the lateral and medial sides, finished in a metallic shine. Tiempo Legend branding is seen printed on the heel in luxurious writing, an essence of ‘Edwardian Script’ font – if you know, you know.
Onto some finer detailing, and the Montebelluna logo is printed on the insole, in honour of where the boot is made and its history, alongside the Italian flag, which is embroidered onto the lateral sock lining. As if this wasn’t enough class for one boot, the Tiempo Luxe comes in a premium boot bag unlike any other on the market, with a leather look bringing back that 90’s nostalgia.
The new Tiempo Luxe’s will be worn by Jamal Musiala and Leah Williamson in their upcoming games this weekend, before being released for sale on Monday.
